So how are our clients doing with our system then? The following figures compare some key performance indicators for our 10 clients who had a live MSL system during Sep, Oct, Nov 2009, with the same months this academic year.

Now obviously there are lies, damn lies and statistics and it would be a bit simplistic to do straight inter SU benchmarking with these figures, but using them to show use of the system over time shows our clients getting more out of the system this year than last. The only figure that has gone down is number of tickets sold, but as income from tickets has gone up this suggests more SUs are selling freshers and season passes rather than individual event tickets.

You can draw your own conclusions from these figures but the highlights for me include total sales going up by 17% to over £315,000 per SU, a 19% rise in online transactions and a big rise in emails sent. The latter suggests that more and more clubs and societies are using the email functions of the system.
